Intricacies

[Eric Gofreed]

The skeleton of the pad of a prickly pear cactus has perhaps 50 layers of mesh. This is a close-up of one layer

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Wow. If you hadn't described it, it would be hard to guess what this is.

 

[AlanLichty]

I have to echo Jameel's comment - and I grew up around these. Nice macro.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Very well done.

 

[Trent Watts]

Imagine trying to carve that detail into a piece of wood. Wow. Nice capture Eric.

 

[JimFox]

Yep, I wouldn't have guessed a cactus. Great job with this Eric.
